Fuck you bitch.

And here we see the crab, not making it in his natural habitat

works fine. dunno what you mean.

LOOMIS

>>3451868
Are you an idiot? Honestly, Loomis seems more and more like a litmus test to weed out the people who are genuinely too dumb to get good at art. If you can't even understand his head construction after he illustrates every single step to take, you really need to stop and find another hobby.

you didn't even draw the center line right

>>3451868
Anon wtf are you doing. Look at the top where your center line starts. It's not in the center. Even as you rotate it that starting point should remain in the center. ngmi

>>3451868
some people can learn from Loomis. Others can't. This is just how it is OP. There would only be one art teacher if the same methods worked for everyone. As for drawing heads, some people do like the Loomis method. Others like cylinders, sailboats, eggs, pills, boxes, and so on. Instead of bitching about being too much of a brainlet for Loomis, just go find another teacher, or you're ngmi

>>3452009
This.

It’s paintful to remember your first Loomis spheres. Most begginers see the method as a paint by numbers when you need to think about it as construction, and construction requires some understanding of form

The best way to learn is to buy a real foam sphere, draw the three axis and cut the sides. Draw it from life and take pictures with different lenses so you learn how form behaves to perspective

>>3451868
You shouldn't be making tutorials when you can't even draw a cross contour on a sphere properly

wtf its so hard to draw a circle to represent the temporal bone

This helps a bit

Learn how ellipses work in perspective, specifically make sure you understand the minor axis.

Then you have to practice drawing an even ellipse.

The only thing you can get wrong from that point is the size and degree of the ellipse but at least now there's only two dimensions of potential failure, so it's well within trial-and-error range.

Good luck

>>3451868
Show us the alternative then, genius.

>>3453371
fuck this shit just eyeball it lol what

>>3453813
People like you are why people end up in /beg/ with mangled, out of perspective heads whining about how Loomis doesn’t work.

>>3451900
WHY THE FUCK IS HER FACE MISPLACED WTFFFFFFF

>>3453813
Illastrat?

>>3451981
you got a 0 on the pop quiz, good job dummy

Loomis = Stupid meme for begs on 4chan.

>>3453863
Please redline her face. You can do it as lazily as you like, I just need to know where shit actually goes

>>3454751
I'm a beg but to mee it looks like if her head is facing that way then her left eye is curving around the side plane of her head. It probably all needs to move (our) left a bit.

>>3454765
I can see what you're talking about. Now that you mention it, the facial errors look to be all in the eyes to me. If I just look at her lips it looks like her mouth and nose are where they should be. Does that sound right?

>>3451868
>can't even get the center line correct

>>3454390
[Loomis = Stupid meme for begs on 4chan] = Stupid meme for begs on 4chan.

>>3454820
>Implying this line is correct

Wrong again anon, nice flat disk you drew there

>>3452009
>>3452062
>>3454820

Aaaaand you all failed the pop quiz and none of you can cut the sphere

>Waa, I don't like the form of the quiz!

Not an argument.

>>3451868
is this the answer you wanted? i mean, is a cool thing to know, but you're fooling yourself if you think any real pro uses this method ever

>>3455930
redline it dumbass

>>3458826
>this meme

>still can't properly draw a sphere
What are the rules to the axes of this godamn thing

>>3451900

>>3451900
>>3454751
consider this

>>3460162
This really makes you realize how huge the cranium is.

>>3451868

this is basic primitives 101

loomis is basic primitives + facial recognition

Here you go OP, a poor attempt with my finger on my phone

Loomis is a meme and nobody full understands it.

>>3451868

>>3452848
both of those are wrong

>>3458819
You are not a quiz master, just a shitposter who can't even draw the most basic stuff.

>>3460614
Those are from the Watts Atelier head lay-in workbook.

>Loomisfags incapable of telling right from wrong
like pottery

>>3460934
What is your favored method of head construction then?

>>3460934
>like pottery

Hath not the potter power over the clay, to make vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?

Now I can have granaries!

>>3460942
Making sure the head is drawn right, like Juliette Aristides says in her book

I just draw the loomis head somewhat roughly to get a feel of the form and perspective.

>>3451868
I think Loomis is really helpful but I found out about Fun with Pencil only well after 21 years of drawing on and off. I think he can help beginners, but there are guides out there that are probably more appealing to them.

>>3461729
Good post.

>>3460942

I like Huston's way where you just use the gestures as the construction

This thread is fucking embarrassing.
And these people think they can give others meaningful critiqe.
